HISTORY

Alexander the Great

You've seen the movie, now read what really happened!

It's only by learning about the past that we can understand the present, so add some of these great history books to your personal library.

A History of Greece by J B Bury & Russell Meiggs

Bury is the standard book for Greek history to the time of Alexander's death ... I have two copies of this! The first I bought in 1963 when I started studying Ancient History at High School and the second, an updated edition (with lots more pictures!) I bought when I was teaching Greek history ... both are well read!

A History of Greece to 322 BC by N G L Hammond

 
Another classic book about ancient Greece  A History of Greece

A selection of books about Alexander ... read Mary Renault's The Persian Boy for a novel based on his life.
